LOOP Video Art Fair Barcelona

In his facinating video instalations Costantino Ciervo grapples with the existance of the human being in todays society, the applied economic systems, the rapid regional and global developments and possible strategies of liberation. He’s also concerned with actual themes such as the revolution in the fields of science, technological and genetic research, computer science, communication technology, terrorism, as well as ethics and complexity. In the search for answers to his fundamental questions, his work testifies from a deep altercation with humanity and the systems it creates. However, he does not do this in an accusatory or provocational way, but rather by deconstructing and questioning with a poignant and moving visual language that swings between challenging, declamatory, and pleasant aesthetical moments. To get his message across he utilises, in a very subtle way, video and computer technology (both hard and software), which he repeatedly combines with other elements such as photos and objects.
